Living Future Community

The Living Future Community...

is a group of individuals that represent Philadelphia and the Greater Delaware Valley, united by a common passion for Deep Green building. Our community continues to grow to be inclusive to anyone interested in the built environment.

  • We seek broader inspiration and collaboration with peers and leaders from around the world. We facilitate educational series and events within Green Building United to teach and learn from each other.
  • We participate in the creation of living buildings, sites, and communities within our region.
  • We advocate for a deeper approach to and dialogue on sustainable development in our workplaces, governments, educational institutions, and media.
  • Together we grow, share, and act upon our knowledge and expertise to help move our community towards a greater balance with nature.
  • We believe an ecologically restorative, socially just, and beautiful built environment is not just good for the planet, but it is good for those who live here too.
